It's not too easy to tell given the number of ways large networked installs
can be configured, but the logic is that if the R installation directory is
write protected (which is usually a good thing), the packages go into a
subdirectory of the user's home dir. The output suggests that R believes
that this is \\cdc.gov\private\M328\ygv7, but apparently that doesn't exist
since it tries to create \\cdc.gov\private which it can't.
Apart from that, try digging around in
